This blog details some of my thoughts and aspirations relating to application packaging, compatibility and the ongoing management of applications on desktop, server and cloud platforms. I have a strong focus on the Windows desktop space, but as we progress into more and more cloud based application management, we will definitely see more posts on getting applications working
in the cloud.

This post is not completely aligned with our usual topics of application compatibility, but I thought that I would help our Quest/DELL team and mention the latest update to the Quest Virtualization connectors.

Here goes...

Connector for Linux v7.5 is out with a new look and new experience optimizations, together with expanded platform support and many other fixes and features. Two of the most important additions are EOP Xtream and Seamless Windows. EOP Xtream improves the user experience over high latency network connections, especially WAN and Internet connections, and Seamless Windows takes Windows applications and makes them appear on Linux systems as if they are running locally. The inclusion of Seamless Windows makes this a milestone release as this is the first non-Windows Connector to support it.

For more information regarding what is fixed and other important information related to this release of the Connector for Linux please see the Release Notes.
